    I will be down there for the Mayorial Super Saturday @ Grady High School. If the race is still going on I will walk over.

    Wednesday I had the pleasure of meeting the Director of Marketing for the event. We got a full tour of the area, and about 6 cases of Red Bull.

    If you plan on going, please get there by walking....leave your car because it will be useless.

    There will be a ton of free redbull.

    Pankopp is driving the car he built so everyone vote for him. It is the one that looks like a donk with 22" bike rims.

    You could leave some more of Brett's stuff on the back porch out like a trap and do a stake out. Maybe if you catch someone they'll lead you back to the stronghold where they're keeping your bike.
    Brett's tools and intercooler are gone, though, dude. So sorry.

    So Pankopp took 3rd place in his donk and got a nascar driving experience for his troubles along with a trophy. Awesome being that there were 50 karts

    I wish they had grand stands and that the park tavern was open to the public. Other than that, it was neat to watch the soapbox cars and the redbull nascar sounded mean as hell

    Park Tavern was apparently $1000 a head to get VIP access. Me and a few friends tried to sneak in and failed. Two-buck Chuck and a glass of ice saved the day.

    I had no clue that was your soapbox car, congrats! It was the first car I saw run when I showed up.
